October 23, 2019 Randolph Jason

Jesus Appears in Sky, Deters Woman from Committing Suicide by KENDRA SEMMEN for Charisma News From homelessness to activism, Connie Spurlock-Walcott says art therapy and her faith were instrumental in her mental health recovery such that she now helps craft solutions to America’s homelessness crisis.

I was ready to surrender to it. And I just remember…

HOW NOT TO MISUNDERSTAND THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS

October 23, 2019 Randolph Jason

HOW NOT TO MISUNDERSTAND THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS by Silverio Gonzalez for Core Christianity When I entered evangelical circles for the first time, I was assaulted with an entirely new vocabulary and culture. Language like “born again,” “believer,” “the Word,” “walk with God,” “worldly,” and “the world” and cultural references about “purity,” “holiness,” and “youth group”—this world was alien to me. I had grown up Roman Catholic and had been baptized into a very different context and language. “Worldliness” meant about as much to me as “Nacimiento” would have meant…

Are You A Prepper?

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 Randolph Jason

Are You A Prepper? Several years ago we began a review of our house and the belongings we hold. More specifically the food, dry goods and other assorted everyday items. We determined we should make some changes in case of injury or if one of us were to need long term care, as in being in a wheel chair or broken bone or, heaven forbid, something truly serious. Life happens and we should all have our house in order to be able to care for our spouse and our family…

What We Hear

October 18, 2019 Randolph Jason

What We Hear If you have not taken a “fearless and moral inventory of yourself” you should. If you haven’t shared this “inventory” with another human being, you should do that as well. As our life continues to progress we can find ourselves filled with all types of wreckage that put up a barrier in our hearts and minds. These barriers, the longer they go unattended, grow to the point of blocking God from our lives. The larger barrier, the easier to hear the adversary and accept his lies. We…

October 15, 2019 Randolph Jason

How Christians Must Respond as Atheists Decry Tennessee’s Day of Fasting, Prayer as ‘Inappropriate’ by STEPHEN STRANG for Charisma News GNN Note – Someone in a position of authority that understands we need Jesus Christ back at the helm instead of a bunch of humans that do not have our best interest at heart. I pray, Father, that the Holy Spirit fill our state, our people and reflect Your Love, Your Light and Your Way. ****** If you’re a praying Christian, you know that it’s time to pray, because things…

Unclean, Unwanted and Segregated

October 14, 2019 Randolph Jason

Unclean, Unwanted and Segregated One of the few times in history has there been people with leprosy. An awful disease that is described in the Bible and, more importantly, how people not afflicted with this disease respond to those with the disease. People are seen as unclean and no longer welcome in the community. Others are told not to touch them as the disease will spread to them and infect their bodies. These are extremely powerful words that paint an unloving and unwelcoming, standoffish picture of loneliness, separation and fear.…

October 14, 2019 Randolph Jason

Christians in the Culture–Fight or Flight? Podcast by John Stonestreet for Break Point John Stonestreet and Warren Smith are together at the Touchstone magazine conference: “Fight or Flight: The Benedict & Other Options for Facing the World, the Flesh & the Devil.” If we truly believe, along with theologian Abraham Kuyper, that every square inch of creation belongs to Christ, then how do we live faithfully in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile to Christianity? John and Warren also discuss the consequences of the sudden U. S. withdrawal…
